Who to Root for today:

St. Louis at Buffalo - Obvious Dallas at Cincinnati - Obvious Chicago at Minnesota - Tough one. I think the Saints have a better shot at catching the Bears if they lose 3 of 4 than they do Seattle. And Minnesota only has to lose 1 more game, they got the Texans on the road coming up. They can lose that one. Root for Minny. Philadelphia at Tampa Bay - Obvious Baltimore at Washington - It would be better if Washington wins the NFC East, so a win here wouldn't be bad, but they can lose this and still win the division easily. Still root for them to lose 2 games, for now Atlanta at Carolina - Get Carolina further up in the Draft order Miami at San Francisco - Obvious Arizona at Seattle - Obvious New Orleans at NY Giants Detroit at Green Bay - See noladan's post 5 posts down. Houston at New England - Texans loss makes their game vs Minn a must win for Home field advantage

It's probably not too important but I think you pull for Detroit here. If we win out the Lions can't catch us regardless. But we probably want Detroit playing well down the stretch when they go up against other teams we need to lose.....Likewise, we want GB fighting for their lives when they're playing those same teams we're competing with.
